Kill Me More Times, I’ll Become Invincible

Chapter 39:

Does this Childe Guo really know about the Great Yan Emperor’s news?

Thinking back to the previous situation where this prodigal son didn’t know anything, Qiao Mu always felt skeptical.

"Childe Guo, a person only has one life, so they should cherish it, not tell lies, and not do foolish things," Qiao Mu stared at Childe Guo’s eyes intensely.

Although Qiao Mu didn’t understand interrogations, his observation skills were sharp. With Childe Guo’s courage, if he was lying, there would probably be some unusual behavior, like averting his gaze.

"I didn’t lie," Childe Guo didn’t even need Qiao Mu to urge him, he blurted out on his own:

"Of course, I wouldn’t have access to such important information, but my father knows. He told me himself!"

"He said that the Great Yan Emperor might be traveling to Yan City within a month, so he asked me to avoid getting into trouble recently…"

Initially, from Butcher Zheng’s coded message, Qiao Mu only knew that the Wuji Association had a plan to assassinate the emperor, but he had no knowledge about the specific time and location.

At the beginning, Qiao Canxue and Qiao Mu planned how to approach the Lord’s Manor and obtain the complete decoding method for the coded message. Now, they were getting it straight from Childe Guo’s mouth.

Childe Guo widened his eyes, "This is a crucial matter concerning the whereabouts of the Great Yan Emperor. If my father knows about it, he must have connections that reach the heavens. How could there be any concrete news?"

"However, since the emperor is said to be coming to this area around Yan City, it’s unlikely for him to go to some mountain nest. Besides this Yan City, it could possibly be Heyang City to the north or Qingming Mountain to the west," Childe Guo guessed.

Heyang City is the capital city, the largest city in the surrounding area of Yan City, and also the hometown of Qiao Canxue.

The ancient town where Butcher Zheng was originally from is a small town under the jurisdiction of the capital city.

Qingming Mountain is a famous mountain to the west, with towering peaks that reach the sky. There are occasional stories of extraordinary people, making it a scenic spot in the Yan City area.

After listening, Qiao Mu felt a bit disappointed.

What Childe Guo said is mostly just pure speculation. After all, who knows the emperor’s thoughts?

Qiao Mu thought to himself, "If I want to take part in the plan to assassinate the Emperor of the Wuji Association, I should stay around this Yan City area for at least a month or so."

"I have heard that the Great Yan Emperor is foolish and incompetent, only pleasing the inhumans. In recent years, his harsh rule and heavy taxes have burdened the common people. Although it is because of the inhumans, the Emperor cannot escape his responsibility. Killing him would be considered righteous."

Qiao Mu pondered in his heart, but his face showed impatience.

"After saying so much, there is no exact news…are you playing a trick on me?" He narrowed his eyes and a sense of threat immediately emanated.

The spear in his hand moved slightly, and the spear transformed into a blur, fiercely hitting Childe Guo’s belly. It caused his body to curl up like a shrimp, kneeling on the ground and dry heaving.

This blow was considered payback for the whip that Old Huang’s wife had endured on her belly in the past.

In the past, Childe Guo had gone out on horseback with a fresh outfit, surrounded by servants holding whips and clearing the way. It was truly imposing.

Qiao Mu would hold back when helping in the kitchen, cooking and preparing food. But when it came to those servants outside the door, he naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Not only would he not hold back, but he also planned to specifically keep an eye on a few servants and kill them.

For example…yesterday when they carried the coffin into the house and threatened Qiao Canxue, the few coffin bearers who were following Childe Guo.

Those few men were strong and powerful, usually assisting in cruel acts and clearing the way with whips.

Yesterday, it was a great presumption for Old Huang to take the Hero Courage Soup before Childe Guo.

If it weren’t for Qiao Mu appearing and catching the attention of Childe Guo and the others, Childe Guo would have later realized the importance of this. Even if Old Huang didn’t die, he would have suffered greatly.

Therefore, this time breaking into the main residence would be best to kill the guards from yesterday along with Childe Guo, to avoid Childe Guo seeking revenge on Old Huang later.

"I knew all of this…" At this moment, Childe Guo finally finished vomiting and said intermittently:

"Otherwise, how about I give you money? Since you are breaking into this main residence, you must want something, right?"

"How about a book on fighting techniques? My father was at least a very skilled fighter…"

"Oh, what is it?" Qiao Mu casually asked with little expectations.

Training in martial arts is hard work. Childe Guo didn’t train in martial arts, so even if the Lord had some great fighting techniques, Qiao Mu doubted if he would recognize their value.

"That book is very special. My father always kept it secretly and didn’t let me see it. I specifically stole it from his private room in the study, wanting to secretly practice it myself, but I couldn’t succeed." Childe Guo gasped and said:

"Its name is… Martial Saint Spiritual Technique."

Martial Saint Spiritual Technique？

This name seems different from the skills Qiao Mu practices, like Iron Crotch Skill and Iron Cloth Shirt Skill. Does it sound impressive?

Could it be related to the Martial Saint and Wuji Association?

"It doesn’t seem like a lie. He knows nothing about the Wuji Association. This technique’s name doesn’t sound like something he made up…"

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Mu asked:

"So, where can I find this Martial Saint Spiritual Technique?"

Childe Guo replied, "In the inner courtyard, in my bedroom."

Qiao Mu pondered for a moment and decided it might be worth the risk.

He was already planning to enter the inner courtyard.

This time, Qiao Mu’s goal was to first kill those coffin carriers, and then try to assassinate Lord Guo Yan… Whether the assassination was successful or not was not important, what mattered was to make a grand exit.

Just now, Childe Guo briefly explained the Lord’s situation, saying that he is currently in the inner hall of the main residence, and no matter what, Qiao Mu wants to enter the inner hall.

"You lead the way, no tricks. You’ve seen my spear speed." Qiao Mu ended with a threat, then proceeded to take off his pants.

Taking off his pants was not to prepare for a spear attack against Childe Guo, but to change into the clothes of a servant.

While changing clothes, Qiao Mu carefully observed the fallen servant Ah Cheng, who seemed to be genuinely unconscious now, unlike before when he was pretending. Qiao Mu didn’t pay him any further attention.

"Let’s go, keep moving!"

Dressed as a servant, Qiao Mu closely followed behind Childe Guo as they walked out of the kitchen, and before leaving, he made sure to close the wooden door.

Several people and a dog were knocked out in the kitchen, and there was no place to hide. As long as someone came to the kitchen, they would surely notice something unusual!

Fortunately, it wasn’t mealtime now, and the kitchen was somewhat secluded. It shouldn’t be discovered for a while.

In short… there wasn’t much time left for Qiao Mu, but the "Martial Saint Spiritual Technique" in Childe Guo’s mouth was worth the risk for Qiao Mu.

They walked one after the other and quickly arrived at the entrance of the inner courtyard guarded by two bodyguards.

The two bodyguards breathed evenly, their temples bulging, clearly accomplished martial artists with developed internal strength. When they saw Childe Guo approaching, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Get lost, get lost! Don’t bother me!" Childe Guo’s face was pale but his steps were fast, completely ignoring the two bodyguards. Qiao Mu followed closely behind, keeping his head down.

The two martial artists with developed internal strength were immediately obedient and made way when scolded like that. It was clear that they had some fear of the City Lord’s son.

Qiao Mu followed behind him and entered the inner courtyard, unexpectedly finding it simple and easy.
